Pool Homes with electric heated pumps?

Electrically heated pumps will warm a pool on a Florida pool home to the operating temperature of 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit in 24-48 hours – depending upon the ambient air temperature. Please note that electrical pool heaters utilize a heat exchange pump. If the outside temperature at your vacation home drops below 55 degrees Fahrenheit, then the pool heater will not operate, and the pool will not be heated. If the overnight temperature drops below 50, the pool may not be able to return to the operating temperature range during the following day. In such a case, the money that you were charged for pool heat (only) for that day will be refunded on request. Guests should also note that spa pools provided on vacation homes with electric heat pumps are not hot-tubs, and are not always designed to heat higher than the temperature of the pool.

All guests should note that pool heat cannot be guaranteed, as sometimes mechanical devices fail, or environmental factors will not allow the pools to be heated. Guests must notify the company of failure of pool heat on the day, so that the temperature or the equipment can be checked by personnel. In the event that pool heat purchased by the guest fails to heat the pool to the specified temperature range between 75-85 degrees Fahrenheit, Story Time Vacation Homes will refund the pool heat for the days it is not provided on request.
